Cornmeal and Manchego “Flatbreads"
This recipe makes a thin and savory, crispy, yet fluffy flatbread. When you serve this cornmeal flatbread, serve it with fresh tomatoes or a bowl of arugula.
Lavender Mint Granita
A floral, herbal and lemony summer treat that brings these gorgeous lavender fields of Provance straight to my apartment. When you are stranded in the city for the entire summer, what else can you do -- if the hill will not come to Mohammed, Mohammed will go to the hill.
Grilled Lamb Kidneys with Crispy Sage
The Lamb Kidney in this recipe gets a bath in a marinade of olive oil, balsamic and fresh herbs. It is then meets the grill for a perfectly timed moment.
Basil-Ginger Marinated Pork Tenderloin
If you are looking for an effortless dinner with high potential to please, look no further. This is a subtly fragrant piece of meat to welcome the first spring vegetables, or refresh on a hot summer day. It requires almost no work, just a nice piece of tenderloin, a meat thermometer, and a tiny bit of greens on the side.
Cavatelli with Asiago Oat Crumbs
Sometimes great kitchen disasters lead to most surprising dishes. I have a wonderful recipe for cookies with flour, cheese and butter, and was trying to adapt it to work with oats. The first batch of cookies went nowhere. The cookies fell apart and literally turned into crumbs. Correction: they turned into the most delicious crumbs imaginable. I had a great deal of dough left, and plenty of room to experiment. And that is how a lovely pasta was born.
Onion Skin Dyed Easter Eggs
I am not sure that many folks know about this wonderful (and natural) way to decorate Easter eggs with onion skin. This is not really a recipe but it's fun!
Fennel Slaw with Vanilla Vinaigrette
Sometimes the beauty of a dish lies in its simplicity. I like such dishes, where the flavors of few key ingredients come together into something more than the sum of their parts. In this refreshing winter salad, the licorice taste of fennel is muted with vinaigrette, and only a hint of it comes through, accented with vanilla, almond and black pepper notes.
Childhood Zucchini Pancakes
There are million zucchini pancake recipes, but this is the one my mom made. Almost every week when I came back from school there was a plate full of warm little pancakes waiting for me. Today I make them for my daughter and her little buddies, and they love it. Often I substitute zucchini with a different vegetable – carrot, broccoli, peas – they clean up their plates not knowing that they have been tricked into eating a healthy meal!
